Cultural family welcomes guests in Hoi An ancient town for 3 consecutive years

The new regulation of the People's Committee of Hoi An city clearly states that the business entity of the accommodation model with the residents of the old town must be a local, have a permanent address and actually live in the house where the accommodation activities are planned to be held. At the same time, they must be awarded a Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Cultural Families at the commune or ward level or higher and have prestige in the local community or be recognized as a Cultural Family for 3 consecutive years.

The model will be implemented in the ancient town of Hoi An. Experiencing this form, visitors have the opportunity to feel more clearly the lifestyle of local people, living in ancient houses, going to the market, cooking and trying traditional jobs.

Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoi An City Nguyen Van Son informed that the new local tourism products aim at many goals such as: exploring culture, living with the people of the old town... From there, creating more income for the people, especially households living in alleys and lanes. At the same time, attracting more tourists to Hoi An, contributing to preserving the soul of the city.

Many houses in Hoi An ancient town are operating tourism, beauty and entertainment services.

Hoi An city authorities will give priority to households that organize accommodation models associated with production and business activities of traditional industries and trades. In addition, they will encourage people to organize more cultural and artistic activities for tourists to experience.

Business participants need to ensure good services other than accommodation, especially experiential services closely related to the daily life of households, communities and society.

Regarding housing conditions, the city requires that the accommodation space must have appropriate architecture, meeting the living and interaction needs of tourists. Specifically, the house must have no more than 5 guest rooms and each room can accommodate a maximum of 2 people, and no reception desk must be arranged at the reception area. Houses with architectural and artistic value will be given priority.

When welcoming guests, households must provide information on the form, content and time of activities to facilitate the participation of tourists with their families. In addition, households organizing the reception of guests must ensure compliance with the regulations under the 2017 Tourism Law and its implementing guidelines.

Previously, in May, Hoi An issued a document mentioning the conditions for local people to welcome guests to eat and stay in the walking street. However, after the pilot period, the old town realized that some contents were not really suitable. At the request of the professional agency, the city agreed to adjust the regulations in the direction of higher requirements based on the actual situation.
